I would like to get a copy of the above probate file for my great great uncle Francis A Chapman (Frank). I tried unsuccessfully to get a copy directly from the court clerk and am hoping someone might be able to get me a copy or just transcribe this will for me.
Here is where i found the file #
Chapman, Frank (added) d. 10 Oct 1916 “The bride is a daughter of Frank Chapman, recently deceased, ... (Sept 7, 1917 Kucera-Chapman wedding in Odessa Record) “Frank Chapman. Lincoln Co Probate file #1826, filed Oct 25, 1916. Frank Chapman died 10 Oct 1916 at St Luke’s Hospital, in Spokane, WA. He was 52 years of age.
